Family Support is Critical
There are countless statistics that tell us the impact of drug use in our society – but as a parent of a daughter struggling with drugs and alcohol you know better than anyone the real cost of drugs. You know the worry you have as a parent waiting up for your girl to come home at night. You know the fear when the phone rings in the middle of the night. You know that she is gambling with her education, her future and her very life.
Drug and alcohol use doesn’t just impact the one using them – it impacts the entire family. Parents…siblings…grandparents. Everyone in the home is impacted by the choices of just one person in the home.
Drugs and alcohol disintegrates family relationships, destroys trust and breaks hearts.
At Bloom A Place for Girls, we are dedicated to ministering not just the adolescent girls entrusted to us, but to the entire family as well. Just as drug and alcohol use in the home impacts the entire family, the entire family needs to experience restoration and recovery together if there is going to be long-lasting change. For that reason, Bloom Teen Challenge will provide family counseling and parent workshops for the family of each girl we have enter our residential program.
It is vital that your daughter knows she is loved by her family, but also important that boundaries are drawn to protect you and your other children during this time. Your daughter needs to know that her actions will not be tolerated within the home or around the family.
An excellent way to learn and find support from other families who face the same issues with their teen girls is to join a support group in your local area. We can help you find one.
